Rob Manfred proves that he is as big a dork as $elig:

Speaking at the Sports Diversity & Inclusion Symposium on Wednesday afternoon, Manfred made two points perfectly clear. First, he doesn’t see any need to expand the designated hitter to the National League, which is a topic many were hoping he'd take on head-on as commissioner.

“I would leave the DH the way it is,” Manfred said. “I always have thought that the variation between the two leagues is a good thing for the game, generally. It promotes debate among fans, and I’m a big believer that debate is a good thing for baseball. Just like debate’s a good thing for your business.

“When people are talking about the game, it’s good.”
